Hodling works great if you want long term one instead of short term. About trading, I don't have much knowledge and experience about it since I did not do much trading before and doing technical analysis needs a lot of time where it is one of the important things to do to predict the price. In trading, you can do it daily which in my experience you can earn profit and also loss if the price suddenly decrease but mostly profit and much faster but with higher risk of losing profit.
well, I feel that holding is still one of the principles of trading. however, if it is different, then, I also tend to do holding rather than trading. Well, I'm not very good at trading, in fact I've tried it, and failed several times. however, in holding, until now I still do it, and when the price goes up, it never makes me think that this is a disadvantage. however, since then until now, I tend to hold rather than trade.
